Suppose it were announced to you thxkior h S branch of manufacture, a machine had been invented which would reduce the cost price by 10 per cent„ would .you oppose the introduction of such an improvement ? Certainly not. But it is precisely such a saving free trade effects. A celebrated writer on politic,ll economy, now deceased, M. • Bastiat, had enunciated this rule, which cannot be cv.tes , .(l, that when tee produce is dear, labour is cheap, and when. the produce is cheap, labour is dear, and the part attributed to wages augments unceasingly. The reasm is that when prices are low for goods, the quantity produced is so great that where a middling workman was found previously you must place several able ones, and of course pay them znozc. I have said enough to show that the treaty of commerce is useful - in a popular and democratic point of view, and elt that ground I oppose the amendment. PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. that in following the course of the river from 5 deg, south latitude to 3 deg. north latitude, where they were met by Consul Petherick's party—a distance of at 'east 500 geogra phical miles—they had done quite enough to make their names famous, he contended they had left some things un done which were essential to the full success of their expe dition. They had not followed the river from its exit from Nyanza along its whole course, but Lad left at least 200 miles of it unexplored. In this unexplored portion there was a fall of upwards of I,ooolt. in the level of the river, which had yet to be explained. Dr. Beke also remarked on " ;: the phenomenon recorded by Captain Spoke, that in tra velling from the Kuruma Falls to Madi they hid beaten the stream ;" and though he did not expressly dissent from the explanation that the Lake Luta Nzigi acts as a great back--water to the river, he believed it to be a poict which required still further investigation. While agreeing with Captain Speke that the southern extremity of Lake Nyanza is the " top-head" of the Nile, Dr. Beke reiterated his denial that the lake was the source of the river, and expressed a strong conviction that in the snowy range of Alps on the east side of the lake would before long be found the true fountains of the Nile, or at least such of them as form the principal stream which runs into and through Nyanza. This side of the lake, he pointed out, had been left totally unexplored by Captain Speke. In conclusion, Dr. Beke announced that so dissatisfied was he with the results of the last two expeditions, and so certain was he of the truth of his own theory, that he intended to undertake an expedition in person which should set the question at rest for ever, and a public subscription would be opened for this purpose. To Signor Miani, Mr. Baker, Baron von Henglin, and Madame Tinn6 might safely be left the task of exploring the river north of the equator, and he should therefore confine his labours entirely to the regions south of the equator, and he felt convinced that one result of his success would be to throw open to British commerce the largest and most important district of Eastern Africa. ENGLISH GATT:IOI,IOISM. Lord EDWARD HOWARD preside.ti cn Ti.l.lSady night over a largo social meeting of Roman Catholics, held in IheTown Hall, Birmingham. His lurd,hip was supported by the light Rev. Dr. tillathorne. 3irmingharn; the Right Ecv. 'D - I;:.shop Isr9rthqmplon, awl other hm(!ing Llistriet, Aftcr some iatrodei.ttory r, alar M, Chevalier on Free Trade in England and France, At the sitting of the French Legislative Body, on Saturday, M. Chevalier opposed the protec tionist amendment on that part of the Address which affirms boldly that France is now able, by her own exertions &nil sacrifices, to successfully re- sist foreign competition. He said : When I, yesterday, read in the Moniteur that the receipts of the indirect taxes for the past year exceeded those of 1861 by 144 millions, and those of 1862 by 53 millions, I certainly did not expect to hear the same day that the treaty of commerce with England was ruining our manu factures,,our merchant navy, our agriculture, and our com merce. A people able to pay such considerable sums in voluntary taxes, instead of being almost ruined, must be in a high state of prosperity. M. Pouyer-Querties said that our exports had declined since the treaty of commerce, whilst those of England had increased 500 millions. In the first eleven months of 1863 our exports amounted to 2,230 millions. They were 1,975 millions in 1862, and 1,700 mil•• ions in 1861. Tho difference in our favour was therefore 530 millions between 1863 and 1861, and 270 millions between 1863 and 1862, notwithstanding the war in America. M. Pouyer• Querticr compares these figures with those of 1859, the last year of protection, when our exports were 2,266 mil lions, but from this total we must deduct 151 millions for corn. Nor is that all. In 1861 our trade with America suffered greatly; from 363 millions in 1859 it fell to SS mil lions. To make the comparison fairly we must strike off 200 millions from 1859, otherwise we should take no account of the effect produced on our manufactures by the American war. Then again the returns for 1863 only include eleven months, and must be increased in proportion. Atter making these allowances, it will be seen that our exports have in- creased considerably. On a fair calculation, it is evident that we gained 700 millions at least since the treaty of com: merce. It has has been said that France is impoverished by being compelled to export specie in payment for foreign produce. This is a mere repetition of the exploded fallac3, of the balance of trade. Wanting cotton, we are obliged to get it from Egypt, Turkey, and India, countries which will only take spscie, and we gain by the exchange, as it enables our operatives to live, and promotes trade at home. (Hear, hear.) We are not so badly off as was asserted yesterday. Look also at other industries. Our coalmines now produce 10 millions of tons yearly, which they never did before. The ironmasters too have made great efforts. The Duke de Marmier—And suffered considerable losses. M. Chevalier—l do not admit that any trade is long continued at a great loss. Certain industries may he in a suffering state; I deplore the bet, but, in a great country, we must take things on the whole. Thanks to great efforts and improved processes, the iron manufacture has increased 40 per cent since the Treaty of commerce. The question lies between those who would maintain and those who would suppress the treaty of commerce. As to the woollen manufacture, the explanation given yesterday is inadmissible. Two years ago the representative of Roubaix repeated here the lamentations of the chambers of CA:a merce: But what has happened since ? Never has Roubaix enjoyed such prosperity as at present. We are told that this prosperity is owing solely to the scarcity of cotton. On this head I reply that we now export woollens to the value of 100 millions more than in 1859, which shows that we are fully able to compete with England in that branch also. With regard to cotton goods I have to remark that England has sent us one half less this year than last. Our markets are, therefore, not overwhelmed with English products. I will show you what sacrifices the country makes under the protective system. The other day we heard great lamenta tions about the expense of the Mexican expedition. Well! if France economised only ono half of the mysterious bounty which she pays in a year to protected industries, it would cover the cost of the war in Mexico. I will ex plain my meaning. Previously to the treaty of commerce, the importation of cottons and woollens was prohibited, and when the treaty was under consideration, the manu facturers of those goods, as well as the ironmasters, de clared that they could not live without a protective duty of 30 per cent. Let us see what that costs the country. The yearly production of cotton goods is estimated at SOO millions, and 30 per cent on that sum is 240 millions, Woollen manufactures amount to 900 millions, and a pro tective duty of 30 pee cent. on that sum comes to 270 millions. So that on these two branches alone protection cost above 500 millions. The duties have since been re duced to 10 per cent., and that sum levied on 1,000 millions of woollen goods now produced amounts to 100 millions. I say nothing of cotton under present circumstances. If to this 100 millions we add the sums paid on iron and other pro ducts, it will be seen that protection now costs France at least 300 millions a year. M. Pouyer-Quertier—That is not correct. M. Chevalier—lf you say 100 millions, that is still too much. The treaty of commerce has reduced the occult bounties paid under prohibition by very considerable sums, N „,t_jch have been expended in the consumption of other articles 1:,": the great increase of the general well - being. To the relief thus (;.?casioned, I attribute the greater part of our increased revenue. I now turn to another subject, and I regret that our eminent coi:Zague M. Thiers, should be leaving the Chamber, as what I about to say will, I believe, interest him. [M. Thiers, who .b.,• 1 risen to go out, immediately sat down near the speaker.] The a mendment, continued the hon. gentleman, has received considerable support by the signature of our illustrious colleague, of whom I shall never speak but with the greatest respect. Most of those who have attached their names to it are men who pretend to guide us in the way of liberty, in which they think we are behindhand, and nevertheless in my opinion the amendment is an attack on liberty and on pro perty. (Exclamations on several benches.) Our eminent colleague has pointed out the conditions necessary to con stitute liberty in free countries, but ho has forgotten the m ost important of all, and one insc ribed among the great principles of 'B9—liberty of labour. It is one which pre sents no danger, for it requires order and security. Eng not, landther therefore, re, everydayfol follow that he merce and labour ? No branch of manufactnre is there ld co u u p n t t o ry us as as reg an ard e s xar r protected ; the customs' tariff of England is, since 1860, the most simple of all, as it is contained on a single sheet of paper, whilst our fills a volume. The former bears on the e P e l d e o : m w o h f y c o rn• following articles —Chicory, chocolate, coffee, corn, currants, figs, pepper, raisins, and prunes • spirits of different kinds, , raw and refined sugar , molasses, tea, tobacco, wine, and timber. In those articles, which produce a sum of 600 mil lion of francs, there is not a single branch of manufacture protected. A Voice —The English do not require protection. M. Chevalier —That is more easily said than proved. I have resided in that country a long time, and I can assure you that 25 years wore required for it to achieve commer cial liberty. The silk manufacturers in England long de manded protection against ours, but they at length found that competition would lead to great improvement in their articles, and they gave up their opposition, I have said that the amendment is en attack on property, and I will endea vaur to prove it. The suppression of the sliding scale was voted, and very properly. M. Thiors—No. That I deny. M. Chevalier—Our agriculturists arc no lonzer protected, but when they require to purchase 1 arming implements they must pay a duty, and they are in that manner attacked in their property. Igo further, and say that Franco has no need of protection. She has 38,000,000 of inhabitants, of whom 20,000,0000 are agriculturists, who do not ask to be protected, and there are 8,000,000 of workmen who do not ask for it. There are moreover 8,000,000 of persons devoted to the lih!ral arts, physicians, advocates, who ask for nothing except that they may not leave to pay dear for what they want. Ask the remaining 2,000,000 of men employed in large manufactories whether they stand in need of protection, and they will reply in the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1864.

A letter received in Plynnuth from a naval officer at Yokohama, Japan, states that the English Admiral thought the result of the Conference on the 15th November of so much consequence that he sent despatches immediately to Hongkong by the Centaur, which, at the same time, em barked invalids for England. It was expected at Yokohama that when the Pelorus arrived in Japan the Pearl would go to Hongkong. The Encounter and Scout have been nearly five years in commission, and the of eers and crews of those ships expect they will soon be sent home to be paid off. The Rattler is at Nagasaki, and the Barnsa, all well, at Yoko hama. The Hesper arrived there early in November. Sbe had been terribly knocked about, having lost jib-boom, boats, bulwarks, So., in a hurricane. A large quantity of stores and provisions is spoilt. The Hesper is considered unfit to do duty as a Government transport. Yesterday a naval court-martial, composed of Captain W. K. Hall, C.B„ Cumberland, 70, guardship of the Chatham Steam Reserve, President; Commander the Hon, G. D. Keane, Cumberland ; Commander R. Studdert, 72; Commander T. L. Gaussen, Formidable, 81 ; and Com mander A. Barrow, Cumberland, assembled on board the Formidable, 84, Capt. J. Fulford, flagship of Admiral of the Blue Sir G. R. Lambert, K.C.8., naval Commander-in- Chief at the Nore, for the trial of Lieut. William Walsh, commander, and the surviving officers and crew of her Ma jesty's gunboat Lively, 2, 60 horse power, tender to the Cornwallis, 60, 200 horse power, Capt. J. N. Strange, onthe charge of having lost that vessel among the shoals on the north coast of the Netherlands, east of the island of Schier monnick Oog on the morning of the 21st of December last, during a violent hurricane. The Lively was engaged at the time in searching for a fleet of fishing-boats and other craft, which were reported missing between the Doggerbank and the island of Heligoland. Mr. G. H. Knight, of the firm of Essell, Knight, and Arnold, Rochester, solicitors to the Admiralty, officiated as Deputy-Judge-Advocate, and conducted the investigation. Lieut. Walsh was assisted in his defence by Staff-Commander H. T. Ellis, of the Corn wallis. The witnesses examined by the Court were Lieut.- Commander W. Walsh, who was in charge of the Lively at the time she was lost, Mr. F. Bush, engineer, Mr. C, Cox, gunner, together with the quartermaster and car penter. From their evidence it appeared that the Lively left Berwick on the 19th of December with instructions to cruise in the German Ocean between the Dogger bank and the island of Heligoland, with the view of assisting any of the fishing boats which were then known to be at sea, and some of which appeared to have been lost. On the night of the 21st of December, when in let 54 26, long. 5 47, the Lively encountered a fearful gale, which continued with unabated fury during the whole of that and the following day. In spite of the untiring exertions of the officers and crew, the vessel became altogether unmanageable. Her foremast was carried away and hung over her side—there was about four feet of water in her hold, which extin guished her fires and prevented the working of her engines. During the height of the gale Mr. Home, the assistant engineer, was washed overboard and drowned, and the pilot who had charge of the ship was found dead on the dock from exposure, cold, and fatigue. The gunboat being at the mercy of the waves was driven on shore on the Belgian coast, the officers and crew being providentially rescued by some fishing smacks, the men in which had heard their signal distress guns. Nearly everything on board the Lively was lost, and a day or two afterwards the vessel went to pieces. During the whole of the trying period the officers and crew appeared to have behaved in the most praise worthy manner. At the close of the case for the prosecu tion the Court adjourned for an hour to enable Lieutenant Walsh to prepare his defence, which was read by the De puty-Judge Advocate. The defence was a recapitulation of the evidence given by the witnesses for the prosecution, and at the close the court was cleared, the members re maining in deliberation about an hour. On the court being opened, the Deputy Judge Advocate read the finding, fully and honourably acquitting Lieut. Walsh and the officers and crew, and stating its opinion that the Lively was lost through the fearful gale which prevailed, she being in her right course at the time. The Court further stated that Lieut. Walsh had done everything in his power to save the ship. Capt. Hall, in handing Lieut. Walsh his sword, said he did so with the greatest pleasure, the Court believing that he, together with the officers and the whole crew, had behaved as British seamen on the trying occasion. The Megaara, screw troopship, Commander Edward Mad den, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from the West Indies with the 7th brigade of Royal Artillery, and military and naval invalids and passengers. Those on board belonging to the 7th brigade consisted of Brevet-Major G. L. Chandler, Lieuts. Little and Davis, 6 sergeants, 2 trumpe ters, 7 corporals, 69 gunners, 6 women, and 11 children. There were besides on board one man belonging to the Ist battalion 14th Regiment, one man (Corps of Armourers), wife and child, 13 invalid s oldiers, 4 women, and 8 children from various regiments in military charge of Lieutenant Rutherford of the 2d battalion 21st Regiment, and in medical charge of Staff Assistant. Surgeon Ferguson. Capt. Mawe, 2d West India Regiment, came home'as pas senger on leave. The officers' wives on board were Mr. Chandler and infant, Mrs. Ferguson and two children, and Mrs. Mawe. The military invalids were transferred from the Megoara yesterday immediately after her arrival at Spithead, to the Royal Military Hospital at Netley. A few naval invalids who also arrived in the ship were transferred to her Majesty's ship Victory and the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar. The 7th Brigade of Royal Artillery will dis embark this morning and march into quarters in the new fort at Brockhurst, one of the recently constructed line of detached forts in advance of Gosport. The Megtora sailed from Barbadoes Dec. 14, 1863, and has experienced a suc cession of heavy gales from S.W. to N.E. She was com• pelted to call at Vigo to coal, and she sailed thence on the 9th inst. She sailed from Plymouth on her outward voyage on May 39, 1863, and since that time has steamed 14,328 and sailed 9,078 miles, having been engaged in the relief of troops stationed at the different stations in the West Indies and on the West Coast of Africa. At Demerara she was detained some time in repairing her air pump cover. She will be docked and refitted before again leaving England.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL. The directors of this company have declared a dividend of 4 per cent. in cash, free of Government tax, upon the stock and cancelled bonds scrip of the company, payable on Feb. 1, to the registered holders of stock and scrip, up to the 18th inst. inclusive. They state that this dividend is in lieu of, and in advance of, two coupons on the full paid stock, and terminates the obligation to pay interest to the full paid shareholders. The directors also recommend the share holders to authorise the conversion of the cancelled bonds scrip into shares at the next annual meeting of the com pany, and that no more scrip be issued. BEDFORD AND CAMBRIDGE. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Euston Station, to consider the propriety of raising ad ditional capital, and of making application to Parliament for that purpose—Mr. Whitbread in the chair. Mr. W. LONG, the secretary, having read the notice con vening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN stated that in the first instance it would be necessary to have an amicable arrangement with the London and North Western Company as to the terms upon which the additional capital should be raised ; and as no meeting of the London and North Western directors had been held for that purpose, he proposed that the present meeting be adjourned for a fortnight, by which time he hoped some reasonable terms would be agreed upon. He then moved that the meeting be adjourned to the 3d of February next. The motion was adopted, and the meeting adjourned ac cordingly. KINGSBRIDGE. An influential weeting was held at the Town-hall, Kings bridge (South Devon) on Tuesday, the Earl of Devon in the chair, to adopt measures with reference to a proposed railway from the South Devon Railway to that town. Mr. SHORTLAND moved a resolution to the effect that, in the opinion of the meeting, it was highly desirable that the advantages of railway communication should be afforded to the town of Kingsbridge. Mr. W. R. 11,11ERT, in seconding the resolution, said he should take shares to the amount of L5OO. The motion was carried. Mr. W. B. FORTESCUE moved a resolution approving the proposed railway to connect Kingsbridge with the South Brent station of the South Devon Railway, stating that it deserved the support of the district, as being the shortest and most feasible route. ➢ir. N. FITTS seconded the resolution, which was carried. A committee was then appointed, and upwards of £6,000 in shares was subscribed in the room. BUCKFASTLEIGII, TOTNES, AND SOUTH DEVON. A public meeting was held at Buckfastleigh on Tuesday, to promote a railway to that town ; Mr. I. Michelmore pre eided. On the motion of Mr. Barnes, seconded by Mr. J. Furneaux, it was unanimously resolved that the proposed line, tie Staverton, would be the most beneficial for the town of Buckfastleigh, and its neighbourhood; and, on the motion of Mr. J. Symons, seconded by Mr. li.ierman, a re solution was passed pledging the meeting to support the proposed line. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. The traffic returns on 302 miles of this line for the month of December show that the receipts for passengers, mails, &c., amounted to 46,600 duls, and for freight to 154,336 dols. —total, 200,936 dots., against 50,791 dols, received on 127 miles open in December, 1862. The total receipts for the past year amounted on an average length of 210 miles to 1,327,095 dols. or 6,322 dole. per mile; and for the year 1862, on an average length of 71 miles, to 257,327 dols., or 3,621 dole, per mile, RAHMAN BILLS.

Dr. Beke on the Sources of the Nile. " The quarrels of authors," which furnished the elder Disraeli with materials for four amusing itolumea, have be come silent in our day, or at least they are waged with so much decorum as to have lost the piquancy which formerly attracted public interest. The quarrels of " travellers" — an almost equally irritabile genus—seem to be taking tiif.ir place. An explorer of unknown regions now-a-days, after returning in safety from the multitudinous perils of flood and field, has searnoly time to receive the congratulations of his friends and admirers before he is called on to face a host of assailants who dispute the originality of his projects and the accuracy of his conclusions, and it will often go hard with him if his literary and dialectic skill do not correspond to the physical courage and endurance and the fertility of re source, which, perhaps, have been the chief causes of his success. Our latest African travellers, whose exploits have reflected so much glory on their country, are no exception to the general lot. All who take an interest in these sub jects are aware that the claim of Captain Speke and Captain Grant to have solved the geographical mystery of ages has been warmly challenged, and among the first to deny they had discovered the true source of the Nile was Dr. Beke, himself a Nile explorer of long date and considerable expe rience. Last night the learned doctor explained his views at length in a lecture delivered before a crowded audience in the theatre of the London Institution. Mr. T. Baring, M,P., the president of the institution, was in the chair, and among those present were the hon. sec., Mr. Tite, M.P., 11r. Gassiot, F.R,S., Dr. A. Smee, and the Rev. T. Binney. Dr. Beke, at the outset, emphatically asserted that Captain Speke and his companions had not hit upon the true head of the Nile, and while allowing them a certain amount of success in tracing the course of the river northwards, claimed to have pointed out many years ago the region in which the river takes its rise. As most people aro aware, Captain Speke's theory is that the Nile flows from the northern end of the Victoria Nyanza, but Dr. Bake will no more admit this than that the river Rhone has its source in the Lake of Geneva, because it happens to flow through it. The true " Niliaci fontos," Dr. Beke maintains, are to be found in the Mountains of the Moon, which, basing himself on tha cele brated passage of Ptolemy, ho contends form a meridional and not an equatorial, range. Eighteen years ago Dr. Belk said he had commmunicated to the Royal Geographical So ciety a paper on the Nile and its tributaries, in which he had developed this theory ; but unfortunately the expedition sent out to verify it by actual observation had failed, from causes which had never been adequately explained. These Mountains of the Moon, Dr. Beke, in the map which he exhibited in the room, makes to run from north to s outh, parallel, but at some distance from the eastern coast, and the mountains laid down in Capt. Spoke's map at the north end of Lake Tyganyika he declared have no existence whatever except on paper. By the removal of this range the learned doctor would include Lake Taganyika within the limits of the basin of the Nile, and oven allow it to contribute to its streams, Without the aid of maps it is impossible to explain fully the doctor's hypothesis ; but if those exhibited last night were correctly drawn, the basin of the Nile as he ima gined and drew it in 1849 corresponds very closely with the limits defined by the expedition of Burton and Spoke in 1859. After tracing briefly the results of former expeditions, 1)r, Beke came to that of Spoke and Grant, and while allowing Liistop of ics o: the; Mid 11 n 1 rt esidt nt ,vent on to E. fty—Aa we are here iu the contre or one of the argest Catholic districts in. E2ghind, I wish to say a Sew words to yeti—not, however, th,t I have anything -very iiu• pertialt to Fay—about our poi•ition as Catholics tho pro- sent time in the country. (Hear, and applitu..e.) I dare say you, occupied as you are from morning till evening, do not consider the struggles which Catholicity has before now had in this district as in the rest of England. I arc not going to dwell upon them ; they are things which are gon© by ; but we ought not entirely to forget, in the happier days iu which we live, the position in which men were in former times, especially when we remember that we are in the im- mediate vicinity of where that excellent man, that model of a bishop, Dr. Milner, lived—(applause;—that also you have :hat excellent and old-established Catholic institution, the college at Ascott—(applause)--from which so many well educated men and so many earnest and energetic priests have gone forth to minister to the wants of the Catholic body. When I remember that excellent school which is now growing up at Egbaston, and when I remember a!so that Mr. Patin has done so much in Birmingham for Catholic art with the help of the energy and talent which he found here, and by which his idea;wero carried out— when I remember that the firm of Hardman, and others, while second to none in charity, have been so prominent, so earnest, and so able, that they have changed the system of church building and church decoration—(applause)—l cannot but call your attention to such striking facts. But what is it we are now ? Whom have I the honour of seeing before me? Here is the representation—and the very large representation—of the very large Catholic body of this town. Now I have the great pleasure of seeing before me as happy looking, as industrious-looking, as well-to-do-looking, a number of persons as my eyes have ever seen. It looks as if you were happy, as if you were well-contented, as if you had not much to complain of in this town. Unfortunately, even in these days, there prevails a good deal of feeling against the Catholic religion. I am not going to dwell upon it, and I only speak of it for the purpose of regretting it; but I believe that in the manufacturing towns, and in Bir- mingham especially, the Catholics find more consideration and more kindness from those of other religions than they do in almost any other place. (Applause.) I think I have read in our Catholic papers about the death of a venerated man who was in his lifetime 2- town councillor of Birminghav,, and I think I have also read in the papers of some one's death very recently who was a member of the corporation of Bir- miugham. I believe that in no town are the Catholic clergy so freely allowed access to the charitable institutions as in Birmingham. (Applause.) If anything can commend itself to the Catholic heart, that is the thir.g. You will observe that it is not any preference, not any favour, that Catholics want. When they ask for facilities in such matters it is simply for the clergyman to administer to the dying or the sick members of his flock that consolation which he alone can administer in times of aftiction and distress. (Cheers.) You have all these things here. It is true that the Catholic body throughout the rest of England wish to see some other things accomplished. Whether they will get them accom- plished or not I don't know. There is a good deal of preju dice yet to be overcome. Persons imagine that we wish for these facilities through other motives than those by which we are really actuated ; but this I will venture to say—that the more facility there is given the priest to enter the work house or the prison the greater facility will the constituted authorities find in keeping peace and order among those who are committed to their care. (Applause.) It is not the first time that I have had to speak on these matters, and I have invariably said, "You may depend upon it that the more you allow the Catholic clergyman to be brought into connection with the Catholic criminal or the Catholic pau per the more easy will it be to reform the one and soothe and comfort the other, and keep order among alt." (Aps plause.) I trust that before long the snail glimmering of liberality which has been shown by some counties in respect to the admission of Catholic priests into the prison for the purpose of visiring the Catholic prisoners will be de veloped, and that the injustice which Catholics now expe rience in that respect will be done away with. (Applause.) I shall not intrude upon your time by going into the par ticulars of this question, but there are one or two matters connected with it which are not, but which ought to be, generally known, Arc you aware that if a Catholic crimi nal in the prison, wishing to keen his religion, which of course is the only means of reforming hire, says he does not wish to go to the prison chapel, leg is, being in conse quence of that locked up in his cell, subjected to a month's imprisonment more in the year than his Protestant fellow prisoner who attends morning and evening prayer and goes to the chapel on Sundays? Again, it is said that the Ca- tholic prisoners do not wish to see their priests ; they do not ask for them. Well, the reason of that we have over end over again repeated, and I shall confine myself here simply to saying that of course a poor man of that kind who goes to prison would be the last to like to see the priest at first ; ho would be most ashamed; but if there is one man on the face of the earth able to reform him it is his priest. (A.pplause,) We all know that if we have respect for a man and have in jured either him or what he holds to be good and holy, that is the last person we wish at a certain time to be brought into contact with. The Protestant chaplain is obliged to see all the Protestant prisoners. The Catholic chaplain ought to have the same facilities, and that shamefacedness of the Ca tholic prisoner, which is to the man's honour, ought not to be turned against him, nor the only chance of reform taken away from him by the assertion that he is giving UP his re ligion when we all know it is not so.

I have, perhaps, gone into this matter too lone:. I shall only once more advert to your local affairs. You are met here to-night in the most laudable manner to encourage the schools of this district. (Hear.) What a blessing it is to see so much enthusiasm about your schools ? All your schools are, I understand. managed by one committee, and this no doubt is the cause of unity of feeling among you, and makes you all feel an enthusiasm about your schools which may not be felt in other places where each school is con fined to a small sphere, and there is nothing to connect with any but one small neighbourhood. There seems to b 3 a. general feeling of pride among you about your schools, and an eageiness to support them, and this it is to a great ex tent that has brought you here to-night. You all of you know, and I am not going to enlarge upon the importance Catholics ai cb en he di i endeavour n nw c g e e han e n n p d s o e u t w lo o e s f a , h h t ts he e hu dv l ep l e i I," of education. You know it is education which must give the young a chance of growing up to be good and useful . members of society, and which must assist them to continue our own. I want no more than that; but I want to see the Catholic body not inferior to other bodice of mm.

Let us feel that as wo walk along the streets we walk along as belonging to the Catholic religion, and let us feel that when we are respected members of society the Catholic religion is then respected through us. (Applause.) I need only further remark that, while we as Catholics are proud of our religion, and do all we can. to advance it. among the members of our own flock, we ought always to behave with the most perfect friendship and kindness to , those who do not agree with us.
